UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[Swordsoffreedom]

The Champions League is always unpredictable. It is difficult to say which team will be the champion. No wonder an underdog team wins. A few years ago the Chelsea team won the Champions League title. No one imagines that a mediocre team like Chelsea will win the Champions League title. This season, Madrid, City, Bayern Munich are naturally favorites. However, there is no surprise if any team wins the title outside of these teams. Each group has strengths as well as several weaknesses.

That's the picture in this competition and maybe we would also be happy if there was a surprising team that could win the Champions League title this season. We also know which strong teams always dominate or become champion candidates every season, but the fact is that sometimes these strong teams can't do anything if mediocre teams start to know how to stop them. Intensity and hard training are needed to be able to compete in this competition and if they don't have a winning mentality then it will be easier for them to be eliminated.

I am curious about Atletico because this team has repeatedly lost, whether in the semifinals or in the final, which means they failed to win the Champions League title. On the other hand, Arsenal is also a mediocre team in this competition but they currently have a good squad so I'm starting to wonder whether they can advance to the final round or not, especially as they are one of the big teams from England who have never won a title. champions league for the first time.

It is very hard for a mediocre team or a team with no drive and passion to win the Uefa Champions League. Let me tell you this, Chelsea were no mediocre team the season they won the title. When was the last time a mediocre team won this title? No team is mediocre if they win this title.

First of all, the favorites this time are Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City for sure. As for others, I think Arsenal, Dortmund & PSG probably have a chance. Arsenal although was looking very good since the start of the season but now they are looking kind of shaky. PSG and Dortmund always choked when it mattered the most. That is why I said, a team needs not only to be good, but it also got to have that drive and passion to push them forward. PSG always had a good team but I did not sense the passion from them. They always lagged behind. I don't see any chance for Atletico Madrid this season, to be honest. They might even get eliminated in the Round of 16 against Inter Milan.

Currently, we have some teams in good form like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, and that's why I think with the current situation from all teams in the Champions League, these teams got more chance to win the title than all the other teams, Manchester City won the tournament in the last season and they had a coach like Guardiola in their teams but that's not ag good reason to as they can have more chance because in the recent games we saw from this team, they had disappointing performance compared to their performance we saw in the last season.

I agree that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich the main candidate to win the Champions League trophy but never ignore Manchester City because currently Manchester City is ready to compete with anyone after their mainstay player Kevin de Bruyne has recovered from injury. How bad Manchester City played in the previous match could not be used as a reference because the match was without Kevin de Bruyne, I think these 3 teams will go to the semifinals and we still need one more team, who is more appropriate to be there?

No one can currently ignore any team for the win with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich having edge, but all others are also at their best and having spot into round of 16 after winning their matches into group stage which is never been easy for any team most of the peoples are talking about just Real Madrid and Bayern Munich due to their strength and consistency, but this is never been guaranteed for the win here in this event with any underdog can also go through for the win.

Even I also agreed if these both not faced each other in quarterfinal or semifinal then surely having good chance for the last two, but few other teams are also able to do this while they are also consistent and good with we can't give them statement of strongest, but these are underdogs and capable of writing history with their performance in this season.

Without a doubt, the Champions League is a mess of unknowns. There is a chance that teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich could win, but it's not a sure thing. Don't forget about Inter Milan; they've been playing great lately. They came in second place last year and look strong again this year. They will need to do well in the round of 16, especially if they play Atletico Madrid. Inter Milan beating Atletico makes it even more clear that anyone can win the Champions League. And let's be honest: losers often pull off the biggest surprises. While the favorites are still the favorites, the exciting part is that a "dark horse" could come out of nowhere

I don't think it's right to blame Pep Guardiola for what Manchester City has experienced this season because there have been a few failures experienced by Manchester City due to the absence of Kevin De Bruyne in their squad for some time. And now Kevin De Bruyne has recovered so he can return to playing with his squad even though Manchester City currently still has two other players who are still injured and one of them who is often relied on is Erling Haaland who is still experiencing stress on his bones.

Guardiola makes the pivotal role for Kevin De Bruyne to play in Manchester City's setup. His absence due to injury undoubtedly had a significant impact on the team's performance, because he is a crucial component of Guardiola's tactical plans. The stress on Erling Haaland's bones adds another layer of complexity to Manchester City's situation. His absence due to injury further compounds the challenges for Guardiola in terms of squad rotation, tactics, and goal-scoring options.

Having key players returning from injury can significantly bolster a team's performance and increase their chances of overcoming challenges. We need to consider the broader context of squad dynamics, especially when injuries impact multiple key players simultaneously. Managing a team through such situations is a complex task, and Guardiola's ability to adapt and navigate these challenges is part of the coaching role.

The winner is not yet certain, but we can guess which teams will go to the semi-finals or final we can see it from season to season they are always the ones who dominate, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are of course the main candidates especially Bayern Munich, which now has great players and is active in scoring goals. Teams from the premier league may also take part there such as Manchester City and Arsenal, but for some reason this season I think the team from the Bundesliga will be the winner.

[Pesona1]

Manchester City Yeah, but that have dropped how they play, I will se e how quickly they pick up with the arrival of Jeremy Doku Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne.
What they did last season can't be done and repeated, they lack capacity and creativity. Players who did magic in absence of Kevin De Bruyne are no more. Blames on Pep Guardiola for not replacing the player's with the right players.

Stepping into the false nine role for Real Madrid had a huge impact on the goals he has scored for them. The defenders are not giving enough thanks for what they have done so far having the least goals conceded.

I don't think it's right to blame Pep Guardiola for what Manchester City has experienced this season because there have been a few failures experienced by Manchester City due to the absence of Kevin De Bruyne in their squad for some time. And now Kevin De Bruyne has recovered so he can return to playing with his squad even though Manchester City currently still has two other players who are still injured and one of them who is often relied on is Erling Haaland who is still experiencing stress on his bones.

Kevin De Bruyne was finally able to return to the field after a long break due to the hamstring injury he suffered. I don't think we can completely blame Pep Guardiola for De Bruyne injury because we know that De Bruyne is no longer young and in fact Manchester City already has to look for a replacement who is right in midfield to replace De Bruyne, so far De Bruyne role in Manchester is quite vital and if we compare it to a body then De Bruyne is the life of that body, so we know how important De Bruyne is in Manchester City now, but Pep Guardiola deserves I'm grateful that now De Bruyne has returned to training and reportedly De Bruyne will try to play when Manchester City faces Newcastle in the English League, De Bruyne return to the team will make Manchester City even more ready to face Copenhagen in February and I don't even think so just De Bruyne will be ready for the 16 in the Champions League, but reportedly Haalaand has also made good progress in recovering from his injury, so it could be said that Manchester City will come to the 16 round  with a complete squad and could become favorites to the winner champions league  again.

Guardiola makes the pivotal role for Kevin De Bruyne to play in Manchester City's setup. His absence due to injury undoubtedly had a significant impact on the team's performance, because he is a crucial component of Guardiola's tactical plans. The stress on Erling Haaland's bones adds another layer of complexity to Manchester City's situation. His absence due to injury further compounds the challenges for Guardiola in terms of squad rotation, tactics, and goal-scoring options.

Kevin De Bruyne is actually an important player that worth good care in any team across Europe; not just in Manchester City but in any big team in the world. De Bruyne has made name due to his quality as a creative midfielder that has helped Manchester City to become a great team in the world.
Missing such an important player in a team will actually stress the team because they relied on him for long and he has been helping the team in different aspect, that’s why the team actually misses him so much.

Having key players returning from injury can significantly bolster a team's performance and increase their chances of overcoming challenges. We need to consider the broader context of squad dynamics, especially when injuries impact multiple key players simultaneously. Managing a team through such situations is a complex task, and Guardiola's ability to adapt and navigate these challenges is part of the coaching role.

Yes, if all Manchester City players are available to play the remaining part of this competition, it will be a boost for them and will increase their chance of winning the Champions League because they are capable of winning it if their players are all fit .

How bad Manchester City played in the previous match could not be used as a reference because the match was without Kevin de Bruyne, I think these 3 teams will go to the semifinals and we still need one more team, who is more appropriate to be there?

If De Bruyne and Haaland are able to continue their excellent performances like last season, then Manchester City will surely win the Champions League title this season as well. Also Bayern Munich team is very strong this season. The Munich management have built their squad this season with the aim of winning the Champions League title and the squad is very strong. Kane is also able to score a lot of goals. On the other hand, the performance of Real Madrid with the help of Ancelotti is very consistent. Looking forward to seeing how Madrid fare against the strong teams in the knockout rounds with their weak attack.

De Bruyne suffered a long injury, and usually even if he recovers I'm not sure he will be able to play like before because usually players with long injuries find it difficult to improve their performance in a short time. However, Man City remains a tough competitor in the UCL league this season, along with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

This is the point. De Bruyne joins the squad after a lengthy injury lay-off. Now it is not sure if he can perform well. It usually takes time for players to adjust after coming back from such a long injury. But De Bruyne is an experienced and talented player. If he can quickly adapt to the players like before, then we could see another great performance from the De Bruyne-Haaland duo.

In my opinion, currently only Bayern Munich is making things difficult for Real Madrid this season, because I'm not sure that Man City can perform like last season which was so perfect. Bayern Munich this season has a very strong squad, especially with the presence of Kane, but their defense is still fragile while Real Madrid does not have a deadly attacker. So these three teams have their own strengths and weaknesses and these three teams have the same chance of winning the UCL league.

I agree with you. Bayern Munich and .Real Madrid are very strong this season. Manchester City is not able to maintain the dominance like last season. On the other hand, the performances of Inter Milan and Barcelona are erratic. These two teams cannot be called favorites for the Champions League title now.

Transfers to be made in January transfer window could be effective enough to change the fate of the Champions League winner maybe. I can't imagine what would happen in case of seeing Real Madrid's signing a deal with Mbappe. However even if this happens he wouldn't join the team right away of course. They would need to wait for him until the end of the season unless they buy his clause to bring him immediately.

However truthfully I don't expect Real Madrid to sign him in January because probably he would like to wait for the end of the season to make his decision on his future.    I expect PSG to be eliminated early again which would make things really difficult for convincing Mbappe to stay.

I don't think that transfers in January have ever been of such a significant importance that they helped a team win the Champions League. If that was the case, I wonder what type of player you are talking about. Of course, if Real Madrid would sign Mbappe in January and he would score several goals in the final round of the Champions League, then it would perhaps be true, but since that won't happen, I doubt that any transfer in January would literally be responsible for the Champions League trophy at the end of the season.

I would agree only about the transfer of Kylian Mbappe from PSG to Real Madrid to be a game changer for the club in all competitions including Champions League. Real Madrid need more firepower in the attack line to help Bellingham scoring more and more goals to guarantee winning most of the game.
Until yesterday I had some hope that the player might join Real Madrid in this winter transfer window but from what I heard today, it appears to be quite difficult to happen with PSG willing to offer him a new and better contract!
In the other available options, I find it hard for a team to acquire other talented player that could help them win the title. Even signing a couple of players will not be possible for most of the teams in my opinion apart from Manchester United which might try to improve its squad but it is already too late.

But PSG is qualified for the next round and they are playing against Real Sociedad. What is the point in selling Mbappe now when PSG has the only goal to finally win the Champions League. If they decided to sell him now, everything they did to convince him to extend his contract some time ago, it would have made any sense at all. That is why I was confused to see people here express their opinion that Mbappe could leave PSG in winter. No, he won't leave PSG and he will give this a last shot to win the Champions League trophy and then in summer he will leave the club.

This makes sense because, as far as I know, Mbappe will also receive a loyalty bonus from PSG in the summer. If he transfers to avoid receiving this bonus, he will definitely demand this from the club that will transfer him. I think he must be considering leaving PSG in the summer. I'm sure the Mbappe transfer will keep the agenda very busy in the summer.

PSG's president once made a statement that they would be willing to release Mbappe to another team but for a large nominal amount, and he also claimed that Mbappe would not be sold in the near future, maybe Mbappe would be released in the next transfer market, well that is still speculation because it is circulating There is also an issue that if PSG is successful in winning the UCL this season then Mbappe will never move to another team, the determination of Mbappe's future at PSG is the UCL this season.
The round of 16 will take place in February, PSG will face Sociedad who are currently at the top of Group D and are undefeated, in my opinion this is a bit of a tough challenge for PSG.

The Champions League is always unpredictable. It is difficult to say which team will be the champion. No wonder an underdog team wins. A few years ago the Chelsea team won the Champions League title. No one imagines that a mediocre team like Chelsea will win the Champions League title. This season, Madrid, City, Bayern Munich are naturally favorites. However, there is no surprise if any team wins the title outside of these teams. Each group has strengths as well as several weaknesses.

We agree, because after all the Champions League is different from other domestic leagues. in the round of 16 and the next round, each team will play 2 matches, either home or away. in this phase, each team will maximize its strength when competing against other teams. one mistake made by a player can have fatal consequences for the team as a whole. even if it's a strong team, they have the potential to be overthrown by teams that we don't expect. currently, the teams that are predicted to be strong competitors in the race for the trophy are Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. for me, these three teams have a chance to appear in the Champions League final. it's just that, we never know until it's time for the final round to be held. it could be that the three teams I mentioned were defeated by other teams who are also still involved in this competition. after all, the round of 16 had not yet been held. so, it is still not possible to determine which team will enter the final. so far, we can only assume and speculate because it is based on the team's strength, performance, and also how they play their matches in this competition. for me personally, I prioritize the beauty of the game in modern football.  Whoever the team is competing, let's just enjoy it. moreover, ahead of the crucial rounds until the final round. and there is no other way, but to follow every development until the end of this competition.

In the Champions League everything is possible because it is filled with the best clubs from their respective leagues. But there are some clubs that are always declared to be favorites in every season, for example, Real Madrid. With their status as the club that has won the most titles, they are always taken into account in every season. But that doesn't end well either, sometimes they really succeed and sometimes they have to be eliminated early.
There is always a chance for other clubs, but it's not as big a chance as it is for the favorites.
In the Champions League it is rare for a club to win back-to-back titles, and one club that can do that is Real Madrid, who have won the Champions League three times in a row. They seem to have broken the curse that most people believe in the Champions League.

You are right, Anything is possible in the Champions League. We have seen in the past that underdog teams often surprise everyone by performing well against big teams. Teams like Inter Milan and Barcelona are not considered favorites this season as their performances have been erratic. But these teams also have a chance to do well. PSG, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are very strong teams. But every team has some weaknesses. Now the team which is able to continue the good performance consistently will win the title. Before the semi-finals it is very difficult to predict which team is most deserving of the title.

But PSG is qualified for the next round and they are playing against Real Sociedad. What is the point in selling Mbappe now when PSG has the only goal to finally win the Champions League.

If he transfers to avoid receiving this bonus, he will definitely demand this from the club that will transfer him. I think he must be considering leaving PSG in the summer. I'm sure the Mbappe transfer will keep the agenda very busy in the summer.

Kylian Mbappe will most likely leave PSG in the near future for a better future in his career. Mbappe has wanted to join Real Madrid for a long time and so far he has a chance to be there if Real Madrid makes an offer. Mbappe will not come for free to Real Madrid because PSG will not just let him go, so PSG will try to continue to tie Mbappe and profit from the sale.

If Real Madrid is not ready for Mbappe's price, then it is very likely that several Premier League teams will offer PSG some money. Mbappe's potential in the Premier League is still there, but I can't confirm which club will make an offer. Arsenal or Chelsea are of course possible, that would make the team better able to compete in the Premier League and Champions League.

[wiss19]

Chances are still very big for this especially with their status as defending champions, there is indeed a new hope where Manchester City are expected to be able to go back to back in the Champions League competition this season, it's just that saying with confidence I think this is still too hasty even though their probability is very high this time.

The presence of KDB and Haaland back to the squad after several months KDB could not contribute because of the injury he suffered certainly brings higher hopes for Manchester City, it's just that we also need to see whether in the end KDB is ready and can immediately adapt well again after an injury that took approximately 3 months.
This should be a little more concerned especially since several other big clubs also still have a strong chance to be and compete in the race for the Champions League trophy this season although indeed for the big match in the round of 16 there seems to be little to expect because the championship candidate club does not meet here. 

Definitely chances are high for the Manchester City, but injuries are creating problems for them with as they are expecting things are not working as so if they are able to bring their injured players back in good position then surely we can go ahead with their another win KDB is surely missing due to his absence now they are at the third spot in Premier League and now Haaland injury is creating more problems but as we have 6 weeks left in Champions League things can stay at the better level for them with this time we have few teams which are surely doing best and also have enough quality is going for the interesting end of this season.

Mostly prediction has never been easy for the winner and right now same happening we have too many teams which are bringing good changes and improved performance so who is going to be winner talking about this is surely not easy for the better results we have to wait for the matches.

Champions League is one of the most prestigious and toughest event in soccer league with their quality is also amazing but still we have few interesting things as most of the time we have many champions those were not near the winning rankings but hey make their mark and win by their performance and game day strategy so just because of this we have too much craze about this event in the world and peoples wait for the restart of next round with currently prediction is surely not easy with all are giving their best and have enough chance for the win, but this time can any underdone create history it's not easy because we have few teams which are surely at the another level of performance and edging out is not easy with on game day performance can bring surprise.

Not always in my opinion if you are talking about the winner of the Champions League title. But if we talk about the finalists then it is always open for a surprise. For example seeing Inter in the last season finale was really surprising to me. But it was thanks to the draw as well. Because Inter and Milan had a matchup against each other in the semi finals.

If for example Real Madrid were Inter's opponent in the semi finals I don't think Inter would have got past them.    You are right about Chelsea's winning the title part. It was really unpredictable. But mostly the winner doesn't surprise me very much. Because Real Madrid won this title a lot in the recent 10 years which already have the most amount of titles in the tournament.

If Mbappe's goal is to win the Champions League, it is natural that he will move to a club that has a greater chance of winning, such as Manc City, Real Madrid, Munich or Barcelona.
However, the one who really needs a pure striker right now is Real Madrid. And we know Real Madrid is the defending champion for the Champions League. He has a big chance if he joins there to win the championship.
How many times have he and PSG been defeated by these clubs in the preliminary round. I have to be honest, PSG's chances of winning the Champions League are still very far away compared to the clubs I mentioned earlier.

I think only Real Madrid, Man City, and Bayern Munich that have bigger chance to win UCL title. I'm sorry I exclude Barcelona because it seems hard for Barcelona to win UCL title with their current condition. Mbappe should move to those 2 teams/clubs if he wants to have a good chance to win UCL title in the future. However, I think Real Madrid is still the best team in UCL which already wins more titles over other teams. Real Madrid also has a great coach and potential players to be stronger clubs in the future.

PSG will be always difficult to win UCL title because they have no proper mentality to win it. PSG has no player who can influence other players to play consistently during the match. It is the role of the captain team or the senior players who have a lot of experienced in the competition.

News about Mbappe's transfer has recently spread increasingly in various media. I think this is just a media need because Mbappe news is always interesting to talk about. but what is clear is that Mbappe will stay until the end of the season because PSG knows that without Mbappe, they will lose half their strength. Of course they will try their best so that Mbappe does not leave until the end of the season.

So, it is impossible for Mbappe to leave PSG this January, but in the next summer transfer he will have to leave PSG. because I think Mbappe needs to understand that he is not getting any younger. He must have the Ballon D'or, and he must fight for it with Real Madrid.

PSG will be always difficult to win UCL title because they have no proper mentality to win it. PSG has no player who can influence other players to play consistently during the match. It is the role of the captain team or the senior players who have a lot of experienced in the competition.

@nurihal, I like your response. When he listed the clubs that has the potential to win the champions league season, I was surprised to see Barcelona in the list. I mean, the other seasons that Barcelona has good chances of winning the Champions League under Xavi, I mean when they were inform, they were unable to win the Champions League, let alone now that they are struggling even in the local league.Talking about the chances of PSG winning the champions league, it is slim but not slimmer than the chances of Barcelona winning same.

As for Kylian Mbappe, I am fed up about his transfer sagas. All I have to advise him is to make wise decisions now he is still young and energetic. He will not remain young and at the top for ever.

I think only Real Madrid, Man City, and Bayern Munich that have bigger chance to win UCL title. I'm sorry I exclude Barcelona because it seems hard for Barcelona to win UCL title with their current condition. Mbappe should move to those 2 teams/clubs if he wants to have a good chance to win UCL title in the future. However, I think Real Madrid is still the best team in UCL which already wins more titles over other teams. Real Madrid also has a great coach and potential players to be stronger clubs in the future.

In fact, I don't dispute what you said because it is true that these 3 teams are stronger than the other teams. Every team still has the same chance, In fact I will not exclude any team because we are only in the round of 16, Of course the journey to the final is still quite far. Even for PSG, they are also classified as a great team with lots of quality players in their team so they cannot be considered weak this season. For barcelona, ​​Of course they are not strong enough if you look at their game in the group phase, But I think they will improve their game to be better in the round of 16.

For the defending champions, Manchester City is still quite the favorite to win the UCL trophy again this season. For this reason, We will see the candidates compete strongly in every match they will play this season. So, If one of them fails in the round of 16, It could be in the Champions League this season,Tthere will be many surprises that will happen.

There's a whole presence of elite clubs in the UEFA Champions League competition this season and none have been eliminated by lucky from these mediocre clubs, the thing is not that I'm praying for it to happen but it's regular facts that's been triggered on daily basis. Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid are the only promising clubs I'm keeping focused on to lift the UCL trophy without having any other borders. For my personal best player, Kylian Mbappe, he got me upset because he doesn't want to enter the promise land. It's simple, come to Real Madrid and come and win Ballon d'Or without having to compete with anyone.
